先说最容易踩的坑：巷子里一串糖油果子 12 元，走出两个路口，同样的东西 5 元。贵出来的那部分，还是位置费。
一、蛋烘糕：2.5 到 4 元一个
铜锅现烤，边上一圈焦脆。口味从奶油肉松到麻辣牛肉都有，甜咸各来一个正好。判断摊子好不好，就看锅边有没有一层薄薄的焦壳——有，说明火候稳。
二、糖油果子：巷内 12 元，巷外 5 元
糯米团下油锅，滚上红糖和芝麻，外脆里糯。买之前先走两步比价，这个差价是成都小吃里最明显的。
三、手搓冰粉：气泡是判断标准
机器做的冰粉是滑的，手搓的碗里能看见细密的小气泡，口感更脆。红糖水要浓，配上山楂碎和葡萄干才对。
四、三大炮：听声音买
糯米团摔在铜盘上「当、当、当」三声，名字就是这么来的。要买现摔的，放久了会硬。
五、糖炒栗子：十月刚上市
十月的成都街头开始有糖炒栗子，挑壳亮、捏得动的。买一小袋，边走边剥。
怎么判断值不值得进
其实方法很简单：看排队的是不是本地人。本地人排的店，价格和味道通常都稳；全是游客拍照的店，价格往往先贵一步。

Start with the easiest trap: a skewer of tang you guo zi costs 12 yuan inside the alley and 5 yuan two blocks away. The difference is still location.
1. Dan hong gao (egg waffle): 2.5-4 yuan
Baked to order in a copper pan, crisp at the rim. Fillings run from cream and pork floss to spicy beef, so order one sweet and one savoury. To judge a stall, look at the pan edge - a thin crisp shell means the heat is steady.
2. Tang you guo zi (glazed rice balls): 12 inside, 5 outside
Glutinous rice fried and rolled in brown sugar and sesame: crisp outside, soft inside. Walk two blocks and compare before buying - this is the widest price gap among Chengdu snacks.
3. Hand-rubbed ice jelly: bubbles are the test
Machine-made ice jelly is smooth; the hand-rubbed version shows fine bubbles in the bowl and has a crisper bite. The brown sugar syrup should be thick, with hawthorn bits and raisins.
4. San da pao: buy by ear
Three glutinous rice balls thrown onto a brass plate, three rings - that is where the name comes from. Buy it freshly thrown; it firms up if it sits.
5. Candied chestnuts: arriving in October
Street stalls start roasting in October. Pick ones with glossy shells that give slightly under a squeeze. Buy a small bag and peel as you walk.
How to tell if a shop is worth entering
It is simple: check whether the queue is local. Shops locals queue for usually hold both price and quality; shops full of tourists posing for photos usually mark up first.
